I know he wasn't really expected to return, but...

I thought he wanted to be a closer?

Timmer · 11-27-2006, 12:05 AM

Does this mean that the Braves again need bullpen help?

Yep, makes you wonder why he didn't want to return to the Braves...

BravesRule22 · 11-27-2006, 01:09 AM

3 / 15-18 mil ?

Glad we didnt keep him around at that price

Everybody is getting much more than they should this year. This is a really good year to be a free agent.

BravesRule22 · 11-27-2006, 12:18 PM

Well its official, he gets 19 mil...

We get 2 drafts picks

Good deal, I say

Sounds like a good deal to me for the Braves.

BravesRule22 · 11-27-2006, 12:38 PM

I would agree, plus we still have Aybar

I actually like the kid. I wish Cox would have started him at second last year a couple of games to see what he could do there, but that has nothing to do with the player. Keep in mind that he broke his hand about the first game he was here, and never complained and still played. I like that in him. That is much more than I would have ever expected from anyone, but he new we needed him so he was there for us.

I would love to see him given a chance to start everyday and see if he could do it or not. If he can play second, he could be the leadoff hitter we need. Coudln't he?

Those 2 picks are sandwich picks now with the new CBA, correct? No one lose 1st round picks any longer IIRC.

BravesRule22 · 11-27-2006, 02:18 PM

Sandwhich pick & a 2nd rounder

Assuming the O's dont sign a higher ranking FA

From BA Premium:

Quote:

Type A free agents, whose former team continues to receive a first- or second-round pick from the signing club as well as an extra pick between the first and second rounds, will be reduced from the 30 percent of players (as determined by a statistical formula) to 20; the Type B band is reduced from 31-50 percent to 21-40.

Type B is now sandwich pick only.

The Orioles pick 5th overall, so their 1st pick is protected.
